That Crow figurine looks adorable!

From mst3kinfo.com, CT will be performing live in St. Charles, Missouri on November 1st. You can get tickets in advance by going to the MST3Kinfo site linked above.

(The refer to St. Charles as a suburb of St. Louis. I remember when it was a town all its own, several miles away from St. Louis. Sigh.)

Last Rites productions did a stage version of Manos: the Hands of Fate.

You can view it all (in 9 parts) on youtube.

Definitely worth the watch - laughed my ass off!!

Enjoy!

Sampo at Satellite News has a run-down of the MST3K reunion, CT, and Rifftrax members here. It's a good summary, and Conor from Rifftrax shows up in the comments. Of all of Sampo's anedotes, I was most surprised by this:

Story Trace told us: They were all headed somewhere and a lady sees Frank and cries out his name and asks if she can get a picture with him. Frank says yes, of course. Delighted, the lady gets out her camera and…hands it to Joel, completely failing to recognize him. True story. We were standing in the hallway with Joel right before the panel (and thereby hangs a tale as well) and I noted to him that I was a bit surprised that his presence wasn’t causing a scene. Nobody was even looking at him twice. Joel smiled and said “No, I walk freely among them.”

TCM will be showing "The Killer Shrews" on Thursday the 31st, at 6:45 PM Eastern.

This is actually one of several great B-movies they're showing on the 31st, starting very early in the morning. Check your listings!

They have announced the episodes for the 20th Anniversary DVD:

#211 - First Spaceship on Venus
#706 - Laserblast
#904 - Werewolf
# 1004 - Future War

"She undercut the subtle nuance of my wiener jokes!"

EDIT: According to the liveblogging on Satellite News, the press release says the set will include "a Crow figurine and collector's cards".

Ganked from the LJ mst3k comm:

Shout! Factory has announced the bonus items for the 20th Anniversary DVD set: Film trailers for some or all of the featured episodes, a "History of MST3K" featurette, and a recording of the 20th Anniversary panel at Comic Con. Don't know what "recording" means, but I hope it doesn't mean "audio only", because that would be odd.

"That hurt...I'm all messed up inside...if only an androgynous man would come and visit MEEEEE" XD

( Hee, hee! )

Apparently some promo material for the MST3K DVD set was released, with the titles "Laserblast" and "Werewolf" listed. The problem is that those are probably NOT on the set. Shout! Factory, who is producing the sets now, said this:

Unfortunately, Laserblast and Werewolf were accidentally included in temp copy for Shout! Factory’s 2008 catalog, which was sent out to the printer prior to any titles being licensed. In addition, our team was licensing enough titles for not only the 20th Anniversary Edition, but our second release coming early next year at the same time. The four films that will be included in our 20th Anniversary Edition will be officially announced during our special reunion panel at San Diego’s Comic-Con International later this month.

So they don't say these two titles are definitely not on the DVD release(s), but they don't confirm it, either. I can't wait to find out!

Info from mst3k_info RSS feed.

From the RSS feed mst3kinfo, HBO will be showing "MST3K: The Movie" several times from July - September. The link for HBO's schedule is below:

The artist's name is in the bottom right-hand corner.

I was in my local Whole Foods market bakery, and they had a sale on garlic parmesan bagettes (they were good, too!). I remarked in a Brooklyn accent to my boyfriend that these were what you would call specialty breads. He just looked at me funny...guess he didn't see this episode :)

Enjoy!

( Triumph of the bread! )

Shout! Factory announced they are releasing a 20th Anniversary DVD Box Set, scheduled to go on sale in October. You can pre-order from Amazon here, but they haven't announced which episodes will be in the set yet - they'll announce it at Comic Con in July.

Edited to add Joel's comment from today on the CT blog:

Also, as a side note, I’ve just started doing press for the MST3K 20th anniversary box set that is coming out in October from “Shout Factory”. Can’t give out too many details but - from what I’ve heard, it’s going to be one-hum-dinger-of-a-doosey…if you like that sort of thing.

I can't wait!

As I'm sitting here at work, the copier in the common room, as it prints out, hums in the exact same key as 'ooooo, what a lucky man, he wa-as..."   :)

Heh, this is one of my favorite shorts :)

MST3K - Out Of This World

Google video has a lot of MST3K episodes in their entirety.  They even have "The Crawling Eye".  

Enjoy!

From the mst3kinfo feed/Satellite News:

If you’re a Cinemax subscriber and have access to Cinemax On Demand, then you might also currently have 24/7 access to “Mystery Science Theater 3000: The Movie.” Apparently, not all cable services carry the full CoD schedule, so check your local cable box to see if this applies to you.

Hello sports fans -

The first Cinematic Titanic episode "The Oozing Skull" is finally available for download! If you got the CT email, though, you'll notice that someone put the wrong URL in the "download" link, so here's the real link to download the ep:
